Bella Pianta Powder is obtained by grinding this variety named for its beauty, having been awarded in 2020 as the most beautiful plant of the season.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense (F1), produces red fruits with colourful shades reminiscent of Bhut Jolokia in shape, taste and heat.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown between February and March in a seedbed at 24-28°C, harvested once the skin reaches the red colour with the typical shades of the variety.
slow drying preserves the fruits' intense aroma, followed by fine grinding that yields an even, reddish powder.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with caution: a few grams are enough to make an entire dish spicy.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
Bella Pianta Powder has an extreme heat level (about 850,000 SHU) with a strong, decisive flavour similar to Bhut Jolokia: ideal in small doses for sauces, curries and intense marinades.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
